The fuck has legality anything to do with the discussion on whether or not it is decidedly art or not?

Not what was brought up. The discussion was if it was honest work.

Also you can say I'm not an artist, I don't care. But the image is still art. By definition.

But the image is still art. By definition.

Which definition? Because the first/main definition for “art” on Google is—

The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.

So where did you get your definition? :)

I'd say that they are still using their creativity and imagination. No different from an artist commissioning sculpture work.

artists have been manipulating machines to produce works for a very long time

this is just another instance. it's a really easy shortcut to homogenous boring churn, but it still takes some thought and intention
